'Time hangs heavy' nghĩa là thời gian nặng nề (trôi) vì bạn (gần như) chẳng có việc gì để làm (if time hangs heavy, it seems to pass slowly because you do not have enough to do).

Ví dụ
A clock ticks somewhere in the silence of your apartment, empty second after empty second, reminding you that time hangs heavy when you have lost your way, like a vise (mỏ cặp, êtô) around your neck.

Try spending time with your loved ones instead of worrying about them. When time hangs heavy on your hands, scroll through your phone. If looking at someone’ number or picture on WhatsApp brings a reminiscent (hồi tưởng, gợi nhớ) smile to your face, call them — the time to catch up is now!

Set inside a coffin, this unusual and ingenious (khéo léo, tài tình, mưu trí) thriller pretty much corners the market in claustrophobia (nỗi lo sợ mình bị giam giữ). Ryan Reynolds is an American contractor (nhà thầu) in Iraq who awakes buried alive with only a mobile, a lighter and a light-stick for company. Inevitably, time hangs heavy here and there, but Rodrigo Cortés is highly inventive (đầy sáng tạo, óc sáng chế) in teasing out the sweaty terror.
